Belle Jolls was born September 21, 1860, in New York, and died at her home in Palmer, Nebraska, March 12, 1917, aged 56 years, 5 months and 21 days.
When a small child with her family she moved to Michigan and when thirteen they came to Merrick County, Nebraska, where she has since resided.
February 19, 1880 she was married to John M. Colborn to which union six children were born. They are Mrs. Wm. Green of Palmer, Mrs. Frank Woten of Gering; Mrs. Roy Trout of Shallowater, Kansas; Lee and Mark Colborn and Mrs. George Gee, all of Palmer. These with the husband are left to mourn the departure of a kind and loving wife and mother.
The best eulogy any one can write of Mrs. Colborn is her life, which has been an inspriation to many in the community in which she has lived. In the words of the Wise Man we say, "Her children rise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her."
Hers was a path marked with deeds of kindness and cheer. Flowers, not thorns, sunshine, not shadows, did she scatter everywhere. Truth was an inspiration of her life, and by kindness did she exemplify its great worth.
Let us gather up the elements of beauty in the life of the departed, and weave of them a picture for the walls of memory. To her the struggle and burden bearing of earth are ended, and we confidently trust that like one who wakes from a troubled dream, she has awakened to see life's endless morning dawn upon the eternal shore, and is now "at home over there."
Among us all she ranked as a woman of culture, refinement and sympathy, a kind neighbor, a devoted mother, a true friend, and withal a woman of heroic mould in bravely meeting the stern duties of life.
The funeral was held from the M. E. Church Thursday afternoon, March 15, and the remains were laid to rest in Rose Hill Cemetery.
The sympathy of the entire neighborhood is extended to the bereaved relatives in their affliction.
